Metabolite Identification
Common NameTartronate semialdehyde
DescriptionTartronate semialdehyde, also known as 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are compounds containing one carbohydrate unit not glycosidically linked to another such unit, and no set of two or more glycosidically linked carbohydrate units. Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn. Tartronate semialdehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Tartronate semialdehyde has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as ginsengs (Panax), deerberries (Vaccinium stamineum), sourdough, prickly pears (Opuntia), and groundcherries (Physalis). This could make tartronate semialdehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Tartronate semialdehyde is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Tartronate semialdehyde.
